Abdul Hakeem

In 2015, IMSP adopted a Kenyan child in partnership with the Centrum Dialog charity, which promotes charitable adoptions of children from a variety of African nations with the goal of assisting their academic journey and helping them through tough times.

Abdul Hakeem, now 14, recently sent us an update on how he's doing, thanking IMSP for helping him since he was a baby in nursery school. He is now in 5th grade at Utu Montessori School in Nairobi, Kenya (Utu means humanistic in Swahili). He often sends us letters in which he updates us on his progress; he enjoys his classes and works hard at his lessons. In his last letter, he expressed gratitude to IMSP for covering his tuition and purchasing his books, school uniform, and bag. He always concludes his letters on a happy note, wishing us all the best in health and happiness.

We are always happy to hear that he is doing well and thank Centrum Dialog for helping facilitate such a wonderful project!

Mentorship in our classrooms: Why Mixed Ages Work

Have you ever noticed the mixed-age classrooms in a Montessori school and wondered why? This is a specific design that allows younger children to benefit from having older peers as role models and mentors and enables older children to step into leadership roles. This model mirrors real-world experiences where people of different ages work together and learn from each other.
